Its a pity then that LR didn’t give you the flamboyant choice of a RED interior for your FL2  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Red leather interior would look good in a black fl2  At work

Matei,
maybe you could look for a place that seels the clear side repeater lenses close to where you are taking your holiday....it would give you something nice to do for a few hours

Germany likes its tuning, so I am sure you can pick up the lenses in the area, but also you can be certain taht they will be quality and TUV approved as otherwise they wouldn't be allowed for use in Germany.

Will have a look on the net but maybe German/Belgian members can give me an ideea.
Help much appreciated as if I come back with clear/smoked (think I preffer clear) repeaters on the same day I put the styling bumper cover and front/rear lamp protection I could avoid questions from my finance depatment by just saying - dealer bonus.
I have a secret debit card (UK card and had opted for a green statement montly report which says that they will not post anything and I can only see the statement over the net and after every 20 month they will plant a tree- did not know green can acctually give you some benefits ) but still have to justify obvious items.

As long as it is to fill up my FL2 with diesel yes but with your prices maybe not.
On second thoughts might buy you a beer in a year or so when I plan a holiday in the UK again.
No definitly will buy you a beer next time I am over on holiday.
Just waiting for my youngster to be old enough and be happy to fly over.
It might be that untill I over diesel will be more expensive than beer so we will just have a pinte of diesel for our FL2 instead of beer.

Don't evenknow how to write "pint" correctly. Worrying. have to do something about this.  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Got in touch with the LR dealer in Aachen wher I have booked the bumper cover style and front/rae lamp guards fitting and they said they have both the clear and smoked type side repeaters and quoted abt 50 Eur (incl VAT). So I will rather take a pair from them as anything else then Ebay would probably get me at 36 pounds including postage which I would say are abt 44 Eur. I can live with this. Ebay would probably get me another 5 pounds less but this way I can have a good look before I buy and am sure the repeaters will fit and are MOT stamped.

Glad you could find something and as you say at least this way you can actually see/try before you buy.

When you do hold them up against the car to see what they look like take some pictures as a comparison, maybe all 3 (including standard in that) next to each other against the car.

German and Dutch dealers carry a lot more options that are outside of the usual manufacturer’s options range than other dealers in the world don't, such as styling accessories and especially chip tuning!

Maybe you should check about chip tuning whilst you are there

Will have a look at what accessories they have when I will be there and see if they have something we don't know of yet.
I asked them about the Central Console Comfort Kit" and they said that they never saw one and that these kits were not imported in Germany - seems production was cancelled)  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

How can I get clear/smoked side repeaters not from ebay as they usually do not deliver to Romania or most of othe countries execpt the UK?
I've say smoked would look better with Izmir blue

I have now swapped both sets of side repeaters. Went for smoked on the black car and clear on the silver commercial, both sets look really good. 2009 Grey HSE Auto
